President Trump has previously accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from jihadists.

Intelligence indicated the two Islamic State-linked camps in the Bauni forest of Sokoto State were being used by foreign ISIS elements working with local affiliates to plan large-scale attacks inside Nigeria.

President Trump said "numerous perfect strikes" had hit Islamic State militants in the West African nation of Nigeria.

The bombing is the latest in a series of attacks in Nigeria's troubled northern region, where the country is battling multiple armed groups.
